Parks and Open Space

Studies show that people who live near parks, open spaces and playgrounds are more likely to be physically active. It is also known that having nearby access to sidewalks, bike lanes, trails and greenways make it easier for residents to get routine exercise. To ensure equitable access, The Health Collaborative is working with local governments, schools, and faith-based communities to make physical activity accessible for all.
